Lullaby of Jesus

A lot of my writings are pieces. Segments of Scripture, portions of choruses and hymns of old as well as my thoughts and struggles. 

For Lullaby of Jesus, I started with a tune that I tried to hum and record in the living room so as not to wake my husband. But words kept pouring out. Here are some of my notes: 

Everlasting Father Advocate 

Prince of Peace      Comforter 

Mighty God Helper 

Counselor and lots of scratches 

Healer Guide 

“Who comes alongside” great encourager 

Deut 31:6; Isaiah 49:16 

Out of that flowed: 

Verse 1  

Lay your head on My shoulder 

Let me wipe away your tears 

Let me rock you back to sleep 

I will take away your fears. 

Chorus: 

Close your eyes. Rest in Me. 

I’m the Great I Am, the Comforter, the Mighty God. 

Peace be still. Trust in Me. 

I’m the Counselor, the helper, the healer. 

Your Abba, Father. 

Verse 2 

Embrace your everlasting Savior 

 Let Me push the world aside. 

Let Me whisper sweet promises 

I will be right by your side. 

Chorus 

Close your eyes. Rest in Me. 

I’m the Great I Am, the Comforter, the Mighty God. 

Peace be still. Trust in Me. 

I’m the Counselor, the Helper, the Healer. 

Your Abba, Father. 

Verse 3 

Don’t be hurt by their cruelty, 

They will never understand. 

In My eyes you will see you are precious – 

You are the apple of My eye. 

Chorus 

Close your eyes. Rest in Me. 

I’m the Great I Am, the Comforter, the Mighty God. 

Peace be still. Trust in Me. 

I’m the Counselor, the Helper, the Healer. 

Your Abba, Father. 

Bridge: 

I will never leave you 

I will never forsake 

I will never abandon you 

Do not be afraid – 

Do not be dismayed - - 

For I have engraved your name in the palm of My hand.
